Integrate Push Chat

Streamline Chat Integration for Developers: Say goodbye to the hassles of UI design and API calls. With our web components available in the @pushprotocol/uiweb package, you can effortlessly integrate push chat functionality into your dapp using just a few lines of code.

As an example, take a look at how we seamlessly integrated the Push Chat View component into the push.org/brb website in the image below.

Usage

In order to add the above chatview component the developer just need to write few lines of code

import { ChatView, ChatUIProvider, darkChatTheme } from "@pushprotocol/uiweb";

export function App() {
// you can pass your own signer, if you don't pass a signer
// then it will automatically use the default onboarding kit i.e. blocknative
// !pgpPrivatekey && !account && !isConnected => will give the note
return (
<ChatUIProvider theme={darkChatTheme}>
<ChatView
chatId="b8e068e02fe12d7136bc2f24408835573f30c6fbf0b65ea26ab4c7055a2c85f1"
limit={10}
isConnected={true}
verificationFailModalPosition={MODAL_POSITION_TYPE.RELATIVE}
/>
</ChatUIProvider>
);
}
tip

If you're using Next.js to integrate UI Components, we recommend using Next.js 13 with the latest App Router.
